The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-19

for the occasion when the house was
first opened for divine service. 1t will
be remembered by those who are famil-
lar with the biography of Father Muir
ray, that while on his travels he
preached in Danbury; and subse quently
through the influence of this preaching,
a UniveTsalist society was organized,
and a house of worship built. Mrs.
Wheeler was married in Danbury-her
husband, believer in the same glori-
Gus faith as herself. Later, they re-
moved West, where they spent many
years, rearing family of chilGren-all
of whom have been an honor to their
parents, and useful members of society.
Living at Knoxville, five miles from
Galesburg, at which latter place the
daughters were educated-resulted in
a somewhat re emarkable and very pleas
ant connection. Three of the Wheeler
sisters married three Conger brothers,
uncles Of Rev E. L. Conger, now of
Pasadena, Cal.
1t is almost score Of years since
with their families they removed to
Texas, where they have since resided.
Purchasing a large tract of land, rest
ing upon what, to all appearance, was
clear title, there has been a vexatious
litigation from what processes to be a
true Spanish claim, which has lasted
for several years. The case has been
decided in favor of the Conger purchase
several times, but has been carried on,
and up-until the last limit has been
reached, and final decision is to be
rendered the coming winter. An in
teresting circumstance connected with
the case, proving falsity in-at least
one document-br brought as evidence
for the Spanish claim, is the fact that
the water mark on the paper, of this
important document was of more re-
cent date than that of the instrument
itself.
Persons conversant with the case,
think there is no doubt that it will be
decided in favor of the purchasers. Five
thousand acres are involved in the
claim ! This seems a large acreage
compared with Northern farms, but it
has been divided and subdivided since
first purchased.
Mother Wheeler has resided with her
youngest daughter for some years since
the departure of her husband, but the
three sisters each claim share of her
presence by occasional visits in their
several homes. If such families as
these were multiplied in this State, our
cause would be benefited as well as
the commonwealth of Texas.
MARY G. BILLINGS.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-19

The eternal years of Gods are ours.
The Creator works through gonS of
time. With him years are but as a
moment on the dial of the ages, and the
slow movements of infinite power may
well indicate to us the pathway of our
lives. Precocious children rarely de-
velop into geniuses; rapid, brilliant
success rarely yields lasting repute, and
mankind's most noble triumphs have
been years ripening in the womb of
time. Hence spiritual growth, the
noblest of all growth is incalculably
slow. The soul is first awakened from
its lethargy-it begins to perceive spir-
itual truth. The world has new and
deeper beauties-the resonant tread of
marching millions toward spiritual goals
is but now family heard. And still
the awakened soul does not aoknowl-
edge its destiny, nor feel its personal
relation to higher things. But finally
the windows Of the soul are thrown
broad open and the now thoroughly
awakened being sees himself placed
between two eternities with the ability
to set strong current upward. The
vision fully discloses to him that realm
where matter shall have been absorbed
in spirit, and the dimly imagined and
fondly hoped shall have become the
certain and the real.
Why, then, need we grow discouraged?
The vaster the lever the more immeas-
urable must be the space through which
it works. We should then congratu-
late ourselves upon those issues which
require time for their fulfllment, pro-
vided we can both work and wait.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-19

THE ability of people, and organiza-
tiOns, and enterprises to live together
in this world, was never so great as it
is now. There is more genuine fellow
ship among men than there ever was be-
fore in human history. Even the
church and the theater have shown
signs Of mutual liberation in these lat
ter days, such as were never seen before.
Actors and opera-singers go to church;
ministers and deacons go to the theater,
and in the general spirit of foTbearance
which is abroad, the ancient feud be-
tween them seems about to subside.
A slight heat has been caused by a
flaming up of the fires Of the old quar-
rel, down in Nashville, Tenn, where
Emma Abbott defended herself aud her
comrades with most royal fidelity.
albeit with a feminine disregard Of
times and consequences. Actors, male
and female, are sometimes not as good
as they ought to be. But no good can
be done by an indiscrminate attack
upon the theater by the church. The
whole affair was in very poor taste to
say the least.-IBter Ocean.

THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
Revenues Of the English Church

Revenues Of the English Church.
The English Church receives in tithes
about S20,0OOOO0a year. tthis amount
S5,000,00O is expended in schools, host it.
ais, church buildings, ETC., and the re-
naming S15,OOO,OOO goes to pay the sala-
ries of the clergy.
Can Church Import Pastor!
Mr.. John s. Kennedy seems to be as
tull OF Scotch pertinacity as the owners
and hackers of the Thistle. Some time
ago he made up his mind to test the Con-
tract Labor law, and now that he has got
United States District ct-Attorney Walker
on his side, that statute is in a fair way
OF being cast into the judicial crucible.
The victims are to be the Church of the
Holy Trinity (New York; and its rev rec
tor, the Rev. E. Wslpole Warren, and the
question is whether the church is liable
to a fine Of 1000 for making an un aw-
full contract with a foreigner to fill its
pulpit. 1t is a decidedly interesting case.
MIR. Walker, in his clever letter to Mr..
Kennedy, points out the absurd character
of the law, but he finds no loophole OF
escape from the construction that a
church in this country cannot engage a
minister abroad any more than a farmer
can contract with foreigner to serve him
as day laborer.-Nclv York Tribune.
Religion in Guatemala
The Republic of Guatemala, while its
national religion is Roman Catholic, has
for years exercised a jealous supervision
over the priests of that church. An arti-
Gle of the penal code has for long time
subjected to a heavy fine all persons
priest OF laymen, who issue within the re-
public bulls, briefs, prescriptions, or dis
patches emanating from the Holy See,
unless special permission has been re-
ceived for their publication from the an
thorities. A law OF this kind is certainly
effective enough to prevent any interfer-
enco by the Church Of Rome with the
prerogative OF the rulers OF Guatemala.
and its operations have been confined to
Catholics because other denominations
have had so few followers in the country
that they have created no jealousy on the
part OF the government. Now, however,
a wretched fear OF the possible influence
of any religion or the minds OF the peo-
